"Here, take a sip...... Just take a sip! I promise, this thing is sweet...... Ay! Don't run over there, you come back to me! ”

The powerful elixir was successfully made, but how to feed a human-turned basilisk was not a very easy task.

After all, there is still a group of underage friends watching in this room right now, and Maca obviously doesn't want to make this scene of feeding medicine too rough.

So, naturally, he chased a small snake around the room.

"Tsk, why are you so disobedient?"

Suddenly, Maca muttered to herself, then pointed sharply in the direction of the window and shouted:

"What people!"

This roar startled everyone, and everyone turned their heads to look out the window, and even the little basilisk that was speeding on the ground subconsciously paused.

And at this moment, Maca reached out and grabbed the basilisk by the neck, broke its mouth and poured the truth elixir down.

Then, as if he had never done anything, he casually put the basilisk back to the ground.

"Ahem...... Am I reading it wrong? ”

When Maca turned around, she found that Ron and the others were still staring in the direction of the window in a daze, but Luna was the only one who blinked at him with her big clear and innocent eyes, staring at him curiously.

"Oh, don't care!"

He smiled awkwardly, and then beckoned to Luna:

"Come on! It's time for you to behave! ”

Although the elixir allows the subject to tell the truth, it does not have its own translation function, so it is clear that Maca still needs Luna's help to indirectly talk to the basilisk.

Luna seemed to be in a bit of a mood for her, as it was quite interesting for her to communicate with a human who had turned into a snake.

"Hey! Miss Basilisk, I'm here to chat with you again! ”

Listening to Luna's brisk greeting to the basilisk, and remembering that she had been chasing the basilisk all over the house, Maca always felt that this interrogation seemed to be going in a strange direction from the beginning.

"Luna, if you want to talk to her, you can talk to her later, now you can ask her for me first-who is the 'old man' she originally wanted Helpo to find?"

Maca is a special elixir made by a basilisk with high resistance to demons, and it is gradually affecting the other party as the effect of the medicine spreads. It can be seen that the little basilisk has already shown some symptoms of dizziness, tilting its head and dangling in place.

Luna listened to Maca's command, and immediately focused on passing her thoughts to the basilisk as she had done last time.

"Hiss-"

Between the snake's swallows, Maca could detect that the other party seemed to be trying to resist the effect of the elixir.

It's a pity that once the enhanced medicinal effect breaks through the obstacle of the anti-demon physique, it is obvious that it is powerless to resist by personal will. Probably even if it is Maca, it is impossible to resist to the end after taking the truth potion by mistake, and what should be said and what should not be said will be blurted out.

Of course, he himself has an antidote.

After a moment of silence, a short hissing of the basilisk was heard. And then, Maca saw Luna raise her head suddenly, and her eyes seemed to be a little more surprised.

So, what did the basilisk "say" that would surprise a girl like Luna, who didn't care much about many things?

"Luna?" Maca hurriedly called her softly.

"Oh!"

Seeing Luna purse her lips, she was stunned under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes in the room:

"She said she was looking for 'Tom'...... 'Tom Riddle.'"

"Soup—"

When Maca heard this, she immediately looked down at the basilisk, and a series of speculations flashed through her heart. And after a series of negatives, one of the most likely, but the least likely, answers, remained.

"Nagini?"

"Shhhh

As Maca uttered the name to herself, the basilisk tilted her head slightly, as if she understood him—her eyes were still blindfolded by Maca's magic, but that didn't prevent her from judging everyone present with her bifurcated snake letter.

Seeing that the other party reacted to the name she said, Maca shook her head in confusion.

"This ...... Impossible? ”

For Maca's hesitation, Ron and a few other friends don't quite understand.

They knew "Tom Riddle", wasn't that Voldemort's real name? So, this witch who turned into a basilisk because of the blood curse turned out to have something to do with Voldemort?

Well, this seems a bit unacceptable to Ron and others, but it's not unacceptable.

However, Maca seemed to be very puzzled by this answer, and even had a vague feeling of trying to deny it.

But in fact, due to the appearance of Maca, the story between Voldemort and Harry has long been turned upside down. And because of this, not only did many people survive, but there were even many people who did not appear in front of everyone.

Nagini, for example, as Voldemort's only living Horcrux other than Harry, is rarely known to even know of its existence.

However, Maca remembered it from the beginning.

Only now, how did Voldemort's serpent Nagini become the host of the Blood Curse? What new ideas did Helbo have? Or...... Is it just a coincidence?

But more importantly...... If this basilisk was Nagini, where did Voldemort's soul fragments go in his body? Why didn't he notice it for so long?

The sheer pile of questions made it difficult for Maca to draw conclusions, let alone figure out Helbo's machinations.

After a moment of contemplation, Maca shook her head again, and then said:

"Luna, ask her again, what exactly was her deal with Helbo?"

This is a question he had already asked last time. It's just that because the other party always seems to say half and leave half, I can't be sure that what the other party said last time must be the truth.

But it didn't take long for Luna to convey a response that was no different from the last one - she did something for Helbo, and Helmo managed to restore her to her body, and it was as simple as that.

Helbo was obviously very cautious, and did not reveal anything that should not be said to her.

Nagini ...... Bloodline Curse...... Horcrux ...... Basilisk ...... Voldemort? ”

Words swirled in Maca's mind, and there was a faint connection between them, but Maca hadn't been able to find a clue that could connect them with Helbo.

No, if there are clues related to Helbo, there are still them. Whether it's a basilisk or a Horcrux, or even a lot of the dark magic that Voldemort is good at, he can match Helbo.

However, these chaotic clues are too shallow, making it difficult for Maca to imagine that Helmo would take a keen interest in Nagini.

Judging from the competition between Maca and Helmo at that time, the guy obviously cared about the basilisk very much, and was even reluctant to leave it to Maca for a while.

That's right, if it weren't for the fact that the trench coat wizard was also involved at that time, Helbo probably wouldn't be willing to let it go!

At the end, Maca complained helplessly:

"It turns out that Nagini, the serpent who has been following Voldemort's side, is still a woman?"

Truth be told, compared to Helbo's thoughts, whether Nagini was a human or a snake didn't matter to Maca at all.

But since she couldn't figure out Helbo's intentions for a while, Maca had to pick something that was already clear and take it out to soothe her chaotic mind.

On the other hand, Ron was clearly the first to come to his senses from his surprise. As for the name "Nagini", he seems to have a greater interest in Maca's words.

"Maybe she's still a beauty!"

Before she could finish speaking, poor Ron was glared at by Ginny—Hermione was not there, and the task of despising Ron fell to her.

"Don't be in heat with strange creatures," Ginny said, pinching his legs, "I won't mention that boy before, are you going to find me a basilisk to be my sister-in-law this time?" ”

"Maca ......"

Seeing Ron begging for help with a bitter face, Maca immediately shrugged her shoulders:

"Aren't you afraid of spiders? I can understand your feelings...... After all, at least the basilisk doesn't have that many feet! ”

While Neville and Hannah laughed out loud at his words, Maca herself looked down at the basilisk again, still with a lot of questions in her eyes.

It's a pity that even if the effect of the elixir is still there, what this basilisk knows is not enough to bring him more answers.

"'Don't waste this loot from me'......'?"

As he pondered the many questions in his mind, he recalled the last words that Helbo had said before leaving the sewers of London.

So, when the basilisk is in Helbo's hands, what kind of value can she bring to the other party? Just tossing around and mutilating living beings?

I'm afraid not.

After a while, Maca bent down slightly, picked up the basilisk and coiled it on her forearm in her sleeve again, and then waved her hand:

"Alright, that's the end of this matter, we should get ready to go to the auditorium for dinner!"

When Luna heard this, she immediately said dissatisfiedly:

"Hey! Maka, but I'd like to talk to her more! ”

In this regard, Maca could only smile and nod at her, urging her to move forward while promised:

"Don't worry, I think she and I are very welcome for you to come and chat, if you want, you can come and accompany her every day during your lunch break."

"That's good!"

Luna clapped her hands happily before beckoning the other friends to walk out the door with her. Maca followed behind everyone, and had to raise her eyebrows helplessly.

"Well, and Pansy's affair that we can't forget...... Remember to write back to Kingsley after dinner. ”
